San Jose and Gilroy.

By M. C. Israel

I MET with the churches at San Jose and Gilroy according to appointment. Found the companies very much reduced by removals. At San Jose they were quite discouraged, their leader having removed to Woodland last spring. We held three meetings with them, and organized a vigilant missionary society, which subscribed for sixteen copies of the SIGNS. We felt encouraged to see them enlist so heartily in the work. If the rest of the churches in the State do as well our missionary work will be doubled during the coming year. At Gilroy we held one meeting. All but four members have removed to different parts of the State. These are doing what they can in the missionary work.
